This is a love song about how relationships can change because people can change through the tide of time. Beautiful things can be washed away but the memory of it still contains that feeling. (see 'Columbus' (2017) by Kogonada)
lyrics
I only think bad when I'm looking back
Or looking at you
Those eyes are so beautiful
got me so confused
You're something new
You said I keep you safe
With you it's hard to stay just friends
You've been gone for so long I've been with no one
Thoughts of changing, you hope I want the same things
Caught in my daydreams, fantasy escaping
This town before the flood
Exists to rush the love we've come across
Our lips touched the first time the other night
The way you looked at me said you wanted me
Baby let your hair down beauty queen
Then you put your lips and said you could never be
Without it
Without it
Our lips touched the first time the other night
The way you looked at me said you wanted me
Baby let your hair down beauty queen
Then you put your lips and said you could never be
Without it
It's raining again, it's raining again
Without it
It's raining again
It's raining again

saw Thundercat for the first time recently - truly a GOAT of live performers. this album is him in his most honest, focused, and emotional state, and it beautifully intertwines his silly artistic voice with his stories of struggle and loss. the album is short and sweet - BUT, if you want to see him and his friends jam a little longer on these ideas, definitely see him live. the dude literally practices like Coltrane and it shows. zilla
